Hi all - A few emails from the President to send later this week. Let me know if you have any flags, and thanks!

Election Day is now less than six months away, NAME.

Republicans have their presumptive nominee and are going to have to start asking themselves some hard questions. Whether this nominee really speaks for them and represents their values. Whether this nominee is really someone who can lead a country that is only growing more diverse.

Let me be clear - we live in serious times and this is a serious job. Over the next few months, it is imperative that we remember - and remind our friends and neighbors - that this is not entertainment, this is not a reality show. This is a contest for President of the United States and all of the responsibilities of that office.

That's why I'm going to do everything I can between today and November 8th to make sure a Democrat succeeds me in office. Too much is at stake not to take this race as seriously as we ever have, and I hope you're as committed as I am to making sure we win this:

We can't do this without you, NAME. I really mean that. Thank you for standing with us.

Barack Obama

Friend -

One of the things I'll be proudest of when I leave this office is that we didn't limit ourselves to addressing only the problems that affect us personally. Whether it was ensuring that young people could graduate from college without the burden of debt, to protecting health care for those with serious medical conditions, to setting the wheels in motion to protect our planet for generations to come, we rallied together not just for ourselves but for our fellow Americans. And we know that that our country is stronger because of it.

So at this particular time in this election, I look to folks like you, NAME, and want to say two things: Thank you for everything you've done so far, and let's do everything we can to ensure that our next president will continue to fight for every American:

Thank you, NAME.

Friend --

For the past four decades, Democratic leadership in the White Housue has made our country great by strengthening our economy, producing jobs, and reducing our deficit. Meanwhile, Republican administrations have been marked by lowering taxes for the wealthiest among us and cutting vital government programs and services that hardworking American families rely on. That's just history.

So, yes -- the Republicans now have a presumptive nominee. But the truth is, there really is nothing new about what the Republican Party believes. They still deny that climate change is real. They still want to take away a woman's right to choose. And they still seek to repeal Obamacare and reverse all of the progress we've made together.

So really, NAME, our decision in this election is pretty easy: We can do everything we can to make sure our next president is a Democrat who will keep our country moving forward -- or, we can let the Republicans put someone in office who won't.

You can count on me to do whatever I can to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot in November, NAME. Add your name if I can count on you to do the same:

Thanks for your help, NAME.

Barack Obama
